Howard Warren seeks re-election to Morristown Town Council

MORRISTOWN – W. Howard Warren is running for a third term on the town council.

As deputy town supervisor for the past six years, Mr. Warren said he enjoys serving the town.

I like to be involved in whats going on around the town, he said. I try to do a good job by everybody.

Mr. Warren said the town is facing difficult years ahead.

I think the biggest focus were going to have is trying to keep our budget within line of what it has been which is harder to do now with the (state) mandates that are unfunded, he said.

Mr. Warren said he would like to keep taxes about even, though he said big, hard-to-swallow cuts in local government spending may have to happen in the future in order to make that a reality.

As an example of the sorts of cuts he envisions, Mr. Warren pointed out that Morristown has already cut insurance for town officials.

I just always try to keep the best interest of the towns people and the village people in mind when there are decisions to be made, Mr. Warren said. I try to be fair and honest with everybody. I dont have a personal agenda on anything.

A 40-year resident of the village, Mr. Warren owns Howards Hobby and Repair Shop, which he operates out of his home.

His business has focused on keeping boats in good shape since 1992, but Mr. Warren said hes been working on boats for the past 43 years in various capacities.

Previously Mr. Warren served on the village board for nine years.

Mr. Warren is running as a Republican. The general election is Nov. 5.
